Diffuser and device counts
Review visible diffusers, grilles, registers, thermostats, dampers, controls, and repeated symbols against legends and schedules.
Symbol counts require type, size, airflow, accessory, and schedule verification.
Loading BuildVision AI
Review diffuser, device, and equipment counts plus visible duct and piping routes on mechanical sheets. Your estimator confirms schedules, sizing, fittings, insulation, controls, accessories, labor, and current pricing.

Review visible diffusers, grilles, registers, thermostats, dampers, controls, and repeated symbols against legends and schedules.
Symbol counts require type, size, airflow, accessory, and schedule verification.
Measure visible routes with calibrated lines or polylines and separate systems, levels, or sizes using estimator-owned labels.
A route length does not calculate duct surface, pipe assemblies, fittings, supports, insulation, or pressure class automatically.
Review visible air-handling, terminal, rooftop, exhaust, heating, cooling, pumping, and other equipment against schedules and details.
Capacity, duty, connections, controls, curbs, and auxiliaries remain schedule and estimator decisions.
System design, load and equipment sizing, duct or pipe sizes, fittings, supports, insulation, controls, testing and balancing, code, labor, and supplier quotes require HVAC expertise. Confirm the current drawing issue, addenda, specifications, exclusions, and responsible scope before pricing.
Estimator approval remains required before quantities become a bid.
02 · Review workflow
Open the current mechanical plans with legends, schedules, risers, sections, details, controls drawings, and specifications available for review.
Inspect pending marks on each source sheet. Accept useful detections, dismiss incorrect groups, and keep ambiguous work out of approved totals.
Add missing equipment and device counts, draw calibrated route geometry, rename work by system, and keep unresolved schedule, detail, fitting, insulation, or controls scope explicit.
Review complete-document totals, then export CSV or create editable quote lines. Apply workspace costs, labor, and commercial terms separately.
03 · Product controls
Run an AI first pass for visible diffuser and device counts, duct and piping runs, equipment counts. Pending groups stay on the source sheet for individual or bulk review.
Accept useful suggestions and dismiss the wrong ones before downstream use.
Add missing equipment and device counts, draw calibrated route geometry, rename work by system, and keep unresolved schedule, detail, fitting, insulation, or controls scope explicit.
The estimator can correct, add, erase, undo, and redo the working takeoff.
Draw a known line, enter its real distance in feet or metres, and recompute measured quantities when the sheet needs an explicit measurement basis.
Lengths and areas remain editable and tied to a verified scale.
Rename selected work, apply CSI categories, and choose explicit labels so different systems, areas, or bid scopes do not collapse into one unexplained total.
Reviewed quantities stay organized for estimator and team review.
Roll quantities up by label across loaded pages. Complete-document export collects every page and stops with a clear message when the full result cannot be built.
No silent partial total is presented as complete.
Use workspace-owned material, labor, and subcontractor cost or sell rows, then carry accepted AI and manual items into editable grouped quote lines.
Company pricing and commercial approval stay under estimator control.
04 · Estimator decisions
Visible plan suggestions can be accepted or dismissed, but they do not prove that every item, note, schedule, detail, or concealed condition has been captured.
System design, load and equipment sizing, duct or pipe sizes, fittings, supports, insulation, controls, testing and balancing, code, labor, and supplier quotes require HVAC expertise.
Confirm the current issue, changed sheets, addenda, and conflicting documents. Do not treat a new AI run as an automatic revision comparison or scope decision.
Current supplier quotes, maintained cost rows, labor productivity, waste, equipment, subcontract scope, code, exclusions, overhead, markup, and risk remain separate decisions.
Buyer questions
Use the plan-linked workflow to review diffuser and device counts, duct and piping runs, equipment counts. The exact result depends on visible drawing information, scale, labels, and estimator corrections; representative plan testing is essential.
No. System design, load and equipment sizing, duct or pipe sizes, fittings, supports, insulation, controls, testing and balancing, code, labor, and supplier quotes require HVAC expertise. BuildVision AI supports the reviewed takeoff and editable outputs; the estimator completes assemblies, pricing, labor, exclusions, and commercial approval.
Yes. Accept or dismiss pending groups, add manual counts or geometry, calibrate measured work, rename items, apply CSI categories, and keep working with undo or redo before export.
BuildVision AI exports every takeoff row to CSV with its source and review state. Quote creation uses accepted AI and manual items only. Missing pages block either output, while uncalibrated measurements appear blank in CSV and must be scaled before quote creation.
The current trial lasts 14 days. Test representative plans and review the pricing page for current plan limits and billing terms.
